Pointer Sisters - Automatic

[@muek]

Ruth's deep vocal range is lethal.

[@BAMOORE94]

Her voice is amazing.. her voice is literally 2 artists I grew up with. The raspiness of Tboz but as dee maybe deeper than Toni Braxton.. she’s a once in a life time talent

[@josejaracardenas6393]

Ruth es hermana dw tinna turnner o estoy equivocado?r

[@k_perry]

@@josejaracardenas6393 Tina Turner is not a pointer sister. She’s not related to the Pointer Sisters.

[@georgeiovino1345]

Unbelievable!!

[@karringtonv.1546]

Nowadays, can only name a handful of artist’s that have this level of talent! No auto tune, no backtrack. 😍

[@mstewart109]

Manhattan transfer ( same era)

[@claudiaarmah2389]

These sisters are my aunts' age and they still rock. 🥰🥰🥰

[@keythdanielsen8316]

This song is so 80s and brings back memories of a good time in my life.

[@timothywelch4949]

Yeah like when we were young and sexy❤

[@jeffrey322]

Ingenious to use Ruth for lead on this! The first time I heard this on the radio, it was like magic!

[@knockout912]

Ruth's voice is on point!

[@ShortFuseFighting]

pun intended?

[@rickywright402]

Greatest pop female group's of the 80s hands down.

[@bh2155]

This woman were on point. They owned that song. Great vocals by Ruth. RIP June and Bonnie both are gone way too soon!

[@snidelywhiplash]

This...this is a live vocal? They sound bleedin' AMAZING!

[@CatchupGirl71]

Because they are bleedin’ amazing! Sound better than the record!

[@moedeesbasketball]

Very live vocal! Without a million back up singers! They handle all the singing and vocal arrangements! Those ladies were AMAZING!!!

[@donheide2035]

This performance was in 1985 and filmed in Paris France later to be aired on Showtime. I should know, I was at the concert.

[@missgigip]

So awesome u were there

[@gornhorror]

She has always been my favorite. She looked so fun.....

[@ccefc_families297]

Loved her spontaneous robotic poses during "Automatic"

[@danielmarquis5258]

Such a PERFECT Pop song created by a group of Legendary Ladies.

[@rayandlee1969]

I had this entire concert on VHS, taped from Australia's "Rock Arena" TV show 1985. Damn, I miss it. June singing Lay It On The Line was bonkers, Ruth singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot was awesome, and Anita singing Fairytale. Awesome times for these special ladies 💗💗 Wish the concert would get a dvd release. I'd snap it up in a heartbeat

[@MrBxbreezy]

They rocked this! Singing live in tune in key on pitch fully awesome

[@DaveRucci]

Agreed. Great live performance.

[@TheLanard]

There was no other way for them to do it.

[@davidiverson2541]

Great performance. Ruth really has an awesome vocal range. My favorite Pointer Sisters song.

[@ronaldlawrence2229]

The 80's SUPREMES!

[@kevonradford688]

My favorite song of all time. I can never get enough of it.

[@tanyalake9152]

they remind me of jem and the holograms but, a black version.

[@chadanthonymusic82215]

Tanya Lake the creators of Jem & the Holograms eere definitrly inspired by them.

[@tanyalake9152]

Chad Anthony oh really? Cool! I didn't know that.

[@dashofreality]

I used to watch Jem in the mornings when I was getting ready for school lol

[@MsAponte69]

Good times!

[@brigittegeorg]

what amazing words to an amazing song. who hasn't felt like this at some time in their lives...

[@karls1892]

The concert was in Paris either 1988 or 89.... also had it on VHS..... one of the best

[@seanmchutchison4679]

Ruth!! 😫 this is my favourite pointers song, and I love all the sisters, but Ruth is the cherry on top. So good 🔥🔥

Sooo 80's. 💙

[@jacovbtarver7052]

She really sounds like she's fuckin... singing....this damn song....the grunts and growls she put that sex appeal on these vocals!

[@ayesharp3425]

Man, the 80s was a great decade.

[@monroeboy80]

Live vocals, great harmonies, no auto tune, live instruments, no cell phones in the audience members hands, just people enjoying a live show, interaction between audience and performers, not cell phone interaction with the performer!

[@Bpabrown148]

My guy. Ummm that’s because cell phones weren’t invited yet. I mean..perhaps if Steve Jobs jumped into a Delorean ….

[@monroeboy80]

@@Bpabrown148 yeah. Hello!? I know cell phones were not invented yet! What I was referring to is that it was nice to see a recorded live concert without an audience (like today) that everyone (almost) has a cell phone in their hand "recording" the concert.

Holy shit!!! Don't you ever!!! RUTH IS AWESOME. Without her bass vocal range the pointer sisters are just like any other vocal group. I love June, but The vocals of Ruth made them dynamic.

The 80s summed up in one performance

[@richierichit]

This was a Showtime special -- not HBO, as another commenter mentioned. It was called "The Pointer Sisters in Paris" and was filmed at Le Rex Concert Hall in Paris. It was released in 1985 to support the Pointers' "Contact" album. It's available on DVD now (SoulCollectors.comuv.com) although I'm not sure of the quality.

[@allexisberry7367]

The Fabulous Pointer sister are for all types! Baddddd!!!

[@Stelios80s]

What a „live“ performance, phenomenal !!!!

I’m here to tell you that it possible to absolutely hate a song and be simultaneously delighted when it’s performed a certain way. I guess that’s the girls’ power. Bravo.

What more can u ask for? 3 sexy chicks belting out 3 part harmonies to a great beat w funky bass. Awesomeness!
